Going strong for 8 years, COMPRESSION is San Francisco's premiere drum and bass weekly, a madhouse that burns to the ground every Thursday night at TEMPLE. This ain't no scary drum and bass, no wimpy drum and bass, no "deep and intelligent" drum and bass: this is straight up FUNK, baby, the kind of DnB that makes you scream and dance like it's the end of the world before going home to FUCK. Part of the Formation family, COMPRESSION continues to host the world's finest while also featuring some of San Francisco's best DJ's and MC's, the Compression Crew. Known for the debauchery of their parties almost as much as the quality of their sound, the Compression Crew is RELENTLESS. They lead the party charge whether at their plush new home, superclub TEMPLE, or playing for audiences in Miami, London, Los Angeles, Germany, Seattlee, and Estonia. If you don't know their names, get to know: AYE~N & DJ MAL (2cents) : IVRY : SHARP : COLONEL MC : AUDIO ANGEL : and DANNY THE WILDCHILD. Compression has hosted international talent such as Dillinja, DJ SS, John B, Shy FX, I Kamanchi, Dizzie Rascal, Skibadee, DJ Craze, Mixmaster Mike, Goldie, Q Bert, Mampi Swift, Grooverider, Marky, Adam F, D-Bridge, Bailey, Bryan G, Disco D (R.I.P.), Fillmore Slim, DJ Zinc, Z-Trip, Victor Duplaix, Ray Keith, Distorted Minds, Armanni, Friction, RonI Size, Clipz, Influx UK, Generation Dub, Craggs and Parallel Forces, Simon Bassline, LTJ Bukem, Zinc and many others. The stylez are diverse, the soundz are direct, the vibez are real, and the Bass and Bizness are DIRTY. Check out the upcoming show schedule for COMPRESSION SF.
